Willian has called for Chelsea to offer his fellow Brazilian David Luiz a new deal.

The Blues defender, who set up N’Golo Kante’s winner at Crystal Palace on Sunday, will be out of contract in 18 months.

And countryman Willian said: “David has a lot of quality to do these kind of passes. Of course. I want him to stay. We have to see if the club will want him. I think they want him. For me, I want him to stay.”

But Willian insisted: “We have a lot of good players who we can play there in front. When we play Giroud or (Alvaro) Morata, it’s different to playing (Eden) Hazard, for example, there. Giroud and Morata, they stay more there, to be like a pivot in front of their defence.

“We know how to play in both situations, so we just have to continue to win.”
